    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Blunt laryngotracheal trauma can cause severe laryngeal injuries.
    • Acute laryngeal fracture is a critical diagnosis requiring prompt attention.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of acute laryngeal fracture are presented.
    • Key symptoms include shortness of breath, neck pain, dysphagia, hoarseness, and coughing up blood.
    • Physical signs include neck tenderness, swelling, subcutaneous emphysema, and obscured anatomical landmarks.

    Findings:

    • Laryngeal fracture was confirmed via laryngoscopy in all patients.
    • Airway obstruction is a significant potential complication.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and effective management of acute laryngeal fractures are vital.
    • Prompt intervention can lead to positive patient outcomes in blunt airway trauma.
